How Do I Insert/Attach an Image to My Post?

#howtoguide

JMichaelTX #2028 I've done quite a bit of searching, and cannot find the answer to: How Do I Insert/Attach an Image to My Post? It is very frustrating. I am used to forums where it is extremely easy, like Discourse, for example. Discourse uses a drag/drop or copy/paste mechanism. The image file is auto-uploaded and linked without any work from the user.

I'm not sure how to do that in Groups.io's flavor of Markdown, or if you can. There's a link to follow which should lead you to some instructions. If your Post Preference was set to HTML you'd click on the "Add Picture" button, then drag-and-drop or Browse to the file. Shal
Frances All Messages By This Member #2032 I find it easy to attach photos by browsing and attaching using the photo icon, but I find it hard to drag and drop using MacOS.? Has anyone had any luck with that? It might just be that I am not doing it right, of course! Frances
JMichaelTX #2033 开云体育 Shal, Thanks for the reply. ?I thought I'd try an email reply to see if that makes it easier to include images in a post. I do?have my preference set to "Markdown". ?This is required in order to be able to code block with syntax highlighting. ?All of my groups.io forums (except this one) are about scripting/coding, code blocks are very important and frequently used. Here's the no-toolbar "toolbar" shown when "Markdown" is set a preference: (screenshot of Markdown toolbar) and when HTML is the Preference: (screenshot of HTML toolbar) I tried the "Attachment" tool on the Markdown toolbar, and it did allow me to upload an image, but it does NOT display the image inline with the post text. ?This makes it much less effective. Request: ?How do we get the HTML toolbar/functions/actions added to the Markdown toolbar?

JMichaelTX #2034 开云体育 Frances, Of course, the photo icon (or "Add Pictures" button) is available ONLY when in HTML mode. Drag/Drop does not work for me either in HTML mode.

Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2035 JMichaelTX, Request: How do we get the HTML toolbar/functions/actions added to the Markdown toolbar? I suggest posting a message on the beta group. It could be very much like what you just posted - I think the explanatory screenshots are excellent. GMF is a user-to-user group, with no known involvement by anyone at Groups.io. The beta group is the official "suggestions box" for improvements to the Groups.io service. Shal GMF Owner
JMichaelTX #2041 Thanks Shal. ?I confirmed that it is easy to insert an image IF you are using the HTML post preference. Looks like it is not possible with Markdown preference. I have submitted a request to beta.groups.io to add this tool, and others, to the Markdown toolbar: ?
